LAMP ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 19,885, dated April 6, 1858.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that we, IVM. W. IVADE, of Longmeadow, and CHARLES BURNHAM,of Springfield, county of Hampden, and State of Massachusetts, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Lamp Attachments for BurningFluids; and we do hereby declare that the same is described andrepresented in the following specification and drawing clear andplain;and to enable others skilled in the art to make and use the samewe will proceed to describe the construction'and operation, referring tothe drawings, in which the same letters indicate like parts in each ofthe figures.

The nature of our improvement consists in the mode .of manufacturinglamp attachments, in so thorough and substantial a manner, that theyshall be more durable and less affected by the heat of the blaze, andmore symmetrical in its appearance.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation; Fig. 2, is asection of the same; Fig. 3, is aV horizontal section,

A, is a wick tube; B, is a spindle having rucked surface wheels fixedthereon, working into the wick tube for the purpose of raising ordepressing the wick; C, is the base which is fitted or secured on to thelamp; D, is a deflector; E, E, are series of perforated holes so as toallow a free admission and circulation of air.

In Figs. l, and 2, F, is a groove in the chimney band; G, is a flange onthe deflector of such size as to allow it to slide closely down theinside of the chimney band into the groove F; and then by the use ofdies `or other mechanical tools the flange is eX- panded so as toclosely fill the groove, in-

stead of fastening in the ordinary way by soldering, whereby they becomeperfectly useless from the heat of the blaze or flame; or subject toconstant expense of repairing and keeping in order for use. H, is ahinge joint secured to the chimney band I, projecting inside and madefast to the shell by a wire through the hinge, the ends of which lay inthe recess of a bead, so that the outside has a smooth appearance. J, isa wire spring for the purpose of holding the band secure on the shell.The object and advantage of this arrangement is to produce a moreperfect article, with far less liability of getting out of order, asthey are always liable to do, where the deflector is soldered in; alsoto produce a more symmetrical appearance by making the projectingportion of the hinge on the inside, and attaching a spring to keep therim secure in its place.

We are aware that deflectors and chimney bands have been used, also thatchimney bands have been attached to the top of the shell by hingesprojecting outward, and also, that springs have been used as fastenersfor various other and different purposes than here described. Such we donot claim. But

Securing the deflector G, into the groove` F, of the chimney band I, thesaid band being hinged to the lamp cap, the whole constructed andoperating in the manner set forth. n
